Quadratic generator
1 Test description
An RNA only template is used in
Loads only
with the
Quadratic generator
. The rotor RPM is set by the user, the tests checks that the generator torque corresponds to that RPM.
The following Load cases are tested:
- RPM 2
- RPM 10
- RPM 20
- K 05
2 Analytical solution
For the quadratic generator, the generator torque
$$T_G$$
is proportional to the square of the generator RPM
$$\omega_G$$
, such that
$$T_G = K\cdot\omega_G^2$$
. The generator RPM is equal to the rotor RPM
$$\omega_R$$
multiplied by the gearbox ratio
$$G$$
. We therefore have
$$T_G=K\cdot(G\cdot\omega_R)^2$$
The default gearbox ratio is
$$G=97$$
The table below summarizes the input and expected output for each load case:

| RPM 2 | 2 | 0.03128 | 1180 |
| RPM 10 | 10 | 0.03128 | 29400 |
| RPM 20 | 20 | 0.03128 | 117000 |
| K 05 | 10 | 0.5 | 470000 |
3 Results
A simulation of 5 seconds is run. The test is considered passed if the results from Ashes are within 0.1% of the analytical solution.
